Shout out to all the fathers that r breaking
the cycle. Its hard being a man, father, husband and friend on ur own
b/c ur mom was a single parent but someone has to create the blueprint.
Keep pushin fellas and always Pray to b better. Love life and love
yourself cuz no one will love u like u love urself!

(Picture of MG & I in our dorm in 2000 in college @ VSU, USA..good times)

Have u ever lost a friend?
Someone u thought would c u progress until the end?
Someone that has been there for u thru the thick and the thinSomeone who told u that u were their best friend?
Someone who would take a bullet from Evil just to c u Live
Someone who didn't care about receiving just worried about where to give
Someone who was loyal
Someone who respected u as much as u respected themHave u seen what I feel?
Or understand losing a best friend is hard to heal?
Not knowing how ur friend feels and if their thinkin about u the way ur thinking about them
The things that u want to tell them.
It would b cool to see my best friend again, I would b so over excited that it might overwhelm them
Theres not a day that I don't look at my phone, thinking that I'm gonna hear my best friends voice
But until then, I have to continue to pray and be patient cuz I have no choice
They say 'give flowers to ur love ones while their livin'
Whoever said that wasn't fibbin
Its hard to say goodbye when u don't know if its time to say goodbye
I say to myself how did I let my best friend go missin, when no matter what my friend was goin thru I was there to listen
My Heart feels heavy from the pain and tears
Not seeing my friend again is my biggest fear

Back in 2008, I got the chance to interview Adam "MCA" Yauch of the Beastie Boys. In this interview I talked to him about his documentary "Gunnin' For That #1 Spot" which centers on eight of the best young players in the country, and soon-to-be household names like Michael Beasley and Kevin Love. MCA also talked about NEW Beastie Boys music, the 2008 NBA draft, the state of hip-hop, what he is listening to in his car, Lil' Wayne & Jay-Z.

Man, what another fun night in the studio. Rule was in good spirits this night recording "Superstar" for his new album PIL2 at Puff's studio. The footage your about to see is Rule recording the track not performing it. I just knew that I needed to capture every moment because I knew I was going to use this footage. MPIRE

Man, "In a world, so cold"...here is footage of Rule, 7 and I in the studio his last night before turning himself in to do his 18 month bid. Rule did some finishing touches on the album and recorded his intro, "Fuck Fame". Once again I got to see Rule write without a pen and make another classic track.

The energy was positive cause we all knew how historic and original PIL2 is but it was sad because the big homie was going to be gone for a little. The best of the worst times, if that makes sense. But like Rule says "18 months aint that long"...MPIRE

Ur eyes speak to me
No lust, just love
Runnin my hands n ur hairKissin u w/ so much passion to show how much I care
Lay ur body next to mine
As our lips connect
Ur body is art
Designed so well
Loving u has put me in a spell
As we hold hands and kiss n the dark
Kissing u from head to toe is where I will start
Tastin ur neck, licking between ur thighs
Waiting for ur climax to rise
Infatuated by ur moans and telling me not to stopLoving the way u bite ur lip when I'm on top
Going deeper and deeper just to make u scream
While u scratchin my back, putting ur legs around my waist
Holdin me close knowing that no one can take my place
The love we share can't b compared
The life of love is something I want to shareJustme4u

We make rain music
No music just rain drops finding their last destination
Pleasure for each other is our motivation
Lighting strikes as our bodies unites
Clouds turn gray as our bodies layThe trees shiver as ur body quivers
Tastin ur rain as it thunderstorms
Sheets filled w/ puddles like we makin love on the concrete
Puttin on my rain boot cuz I'm about to go deep
Pullin on ur hair like the wind is blowin
We make rain music
Just hearing u moanin
Now the neighbors know I aint alone and
The forecast was so right
Its gonna rain the whole night
Just candles, no lights cuz u never know when the lightning is going to strike

I'm falling
Just want to jump from the sky and drown n ur sea of love
I'm falling
Just took ur picture and nailed it to my heart
I'm falling
Glitter me with the sparkles of ur love
I'm falling
Cherished every intimate moment
I'm falling
Smiling everytime I c ur name on my phone
I'm falling
When nothing taste better than kissing u between ur legs
I'm falling
Just wanting to be near u
I'm falling
Holding u close and not wanting to let u go
I'm falling and I hope that we can fall together
With love...

"Love ur friend 2 the end like u loved them when it begun. Let ur love shine on them like the sun. When their down & out let them seek u for advice & fun. Glow on them like the moon n the night & let them know nothing is 2 dark 4u that u can't bring 2 light. Love ur Friend" Doe

My stoned out love is drowning n ur heart
Not wanting to swim up from the triangle of ur heartTook my life jacket off cuz I want to die loving you
Not helpless but selfish for the love n you
Addicted to ur aroma, a hit of u puts me n a coma
My love high never felt so fly till u crossed my eye
Addicted to it w/ no rehab needed
Can't go back to being sober
Ur love drug, I'm all over
My stoned out love drug....

Let me b me
Regardless of what u c
Don't pay aTtention to what u hear
Its only the devils way of showing fear
I know greatness is near
And I'm maturing quicker than my peers
Through lifes journey there will b pain and tears
And celebration, cheersLet me b me

"The beast with a billion eyes, the beast got a billion eyes and the caught me in a freezee frame now they got me on every magazine" Rule

What a good night to be in the studio to hear Rule and Irv talk about what made Rule stand out and become the legend he became. Just listening to Irv that night I learned a lot and he made a lot of sense on a lot of things...good times captured by me..D.O.E WATCH

"We don't know its a dream until we wake up from it & in life sometimes we need something bad 2 happen 4us 2 understand how real things are. Some of us are living n a dream world & haven't woken up 2 reality yet. Stop dreaming b4 it becomes a nightmare..wake up!" Doe

"God is good. Sometimes God has to take certain things away to prove how real he is but I know whatever he takes away there is something greater and he never gives us more than we can handle. U live, u learn and u got to appreciate" Doe

Rule sent me a letter today, and he said that he is adjusting to the prison life but the food is garbage lol. Rule said that he appreciates all the love that his fans have been giving him and that he will be home soon.

@DoeDoLLa takes a tour of the ghetto of Nassau, Bahamas with Mr. Poitier. Mr. Poitier takes him through the mean streets of Nassau and talks to @DoeDoLLa about gangs, police, different neighborhoods and living in Nassau, Bahamas

I painted the red rose peddles gold
So u can cherish and hold
And my heart, I'm gonna foldSo u can take half and put it close to ur soul
No scissors will b able to cut us apart
Leave the window of love open
And let the air intoxicate our minds
As our two energies combine
And love each other to the end of our timelines

Show me ur dedication
And I will show u my determination
Show me ur focus
And I will show u my passion
U make love an inspiration
Loving w/ no fear
Just strong determination
To walk side by side thru any situation

Want to b able to catch every tear w/ my hand that might rain over ur heartAnd put the sun n every place n ur heart that's dark
The sky seems so close knowing that I have a star as a companion
The clouds don't seem that high anymore
And planes aint the only thing fly anymore
Because of the one I adoreMi amor...

This night was a sad time for me knowing that the big homie was going to prison for 18 months the next day. Rule was in good spirits that night ready to start his time and get it over with. Rule was in the studio all night with Seven putting the finishing touches on the album. Can't wait till he comes home but until then MPIRE is going to hold him down. We are a family...

So many years of u not around
At times I forget that u r still around
But look at me now
A proud dad that gives his kids all he has
the tradition of family w/out dad is now n the past
That locked cycle is free at last
I could teach u a thing or twoQuick fast
U should sit front row n my 'how 2b a dad' classI wear my last name proud on my back
We have the same first name 2But this Mike don't act like that
Y haven't u been a father to me?
We both share the same common blood that runs thru our veins
But I'm a man of my word
That doesn't point fingers
And call out names
u c, I seen what I didn't have
And said God, this can't b
And God told me that it will all make sense eventually
U seen me grow up right behind ur back
U not around was a major impact
I got use to u making a promise
That would always be broken
I think @ the age of eight, I stopped hopin'
I knew when I got older I knew what dad I didn't want to b
U don't have a relationship w/ ur kids, how do u sleep comfortably?
Ur grandkids r blessed if ur even concerned
Ur about to miss another generationWhen will ur lesson b learned?
Look n the mirror dad, is that a man ur facin?
But I don't want to hear itLike a lot of static on an AM radio station
Y haven't u been a father to me?
U c, if u really fought 2c us like u said u did
Well, I can only tell u what my moms did
There's so much more I can sayBut will it really matter anyway??

Last night was a fun night in the studio with Rule, Irv & Sev. Irv stopped by to listen to new music off of Rule's new album "PIL2" and Irv was very excited about the new music that Rule & Sev created. Soon as Irv walked into the studio he started dancing to the music Rule was recording.

Irv has his favorites on both albums and gave Rule & Sev suggestions that would make Rule's new music more timeless than it already is if that makes sense lol.

Book w/ no pagesBook w/ no words
So much was said but nothing was heard
Looking into ur eyes as they speak to me
Wishing we could stay together, hopefully
Seen so much wrong but felt so much right
Seen so much dark but felt so much light
Hoping today is better than last night
And all our problems will erase and we will b alright

Footage of Rule and the MPIRE gang in the studio in NYC recording new music for PIL2. It was a good night that night. Black Child was there and Shaheem Reid also stopped by the studio too. Rule and 7, make great music together. Rule was in a zone that night....Mpire

My favorite interview I ever did...REMY MA...she disses Lil' Kim and Fat Joe in this interview. This interview was featured on BET's Black Carpet show and a whole bunch of other sites. From 2007. HILARIOUS!!!
